Everybody, from me to the director, actors.... must have been very bored doing or watching this film Why do they ever waste their time making such bad movies is beyond understanding. They should be punished for all the CO2 they generated making this "film".

Satanic and demonic possession films are nothing new. In recent years there has been a slew of zombie films, possession films and ghost doll/child romps. None of them are perfect. But all of them are a good night on the couch. If you go in expecting A Beautiful Mind, you will be sorely disappointed. If you go in expecting Sinister, Annabelle or The Exorcism of insertnamehere you will have a good time. It's the twisted grandchild of Rosemary's Baby if Rosemary was an insomniac and her baby was actually her brother. Embrace the dank corridors, satanic whispers, creep tapes and enjoy the ride.

Come on people, it's a movie about someone that's demon possessed! You don't think religion should be involved? Maybe you should give the demon possessed person Ambien? Should they go out in the sun to get extra vitamin D?! LOL this was actually better than most movies like this. They were only a couple things that should've been left out. Overall really good for a supernatural horror thriller. Most of them suck.

What makes this movie incredibly different is the fact that is based on a completely real disease. Imagining myself in the same situation alone was terrifying but seeing it play out so incredibly according to my worse nightmare was even worse. Now I can't sleep but also am terrified of not sleeping.

... but not by much. It is obvious that this is a low budget production. Limited location, rather simple shock effects - and much of the story told via shaky vhs cam - and very, very blunt exposition/gloating. The story itself - the very key of this movie - is simple. Simple itself is not really bad .. but too simple takes away from what could have been. And too simple in that case is just 101 possession; as in ... the very basic possession plot, as basic as it gets - literally. The characters are not exactly the usual suspects/archetypes .. but they suffer GREATLY from horror movie tropes - especially poor communication and lack of brain to connect the dots and make any kind of conclusion. Sadly, they also feel like rather dumb people cosplaying scientists by wearing white coats in a way that Superman hides behind glasses. (meaning, they do not do anything scientific at all in the entire movie and act as if they have no knowledge of this sleep disorder ... at all) As for the acting ... it is not good. There is the usual overacting and the theatrical over reach in mimics. The dialogue is unnatural and sounds like poorly learned lines. The conclusion is ruined furthermore by cheap playstation 2 era CG that would not have fooled anyone even in the early 2000s.

So many haters for this movie! One person gave it low rating cause of the disease discussed in the movie, the other mad about religion in the movie. Can't win em all!
